In a time when many publishers are concerned about declining readership, some stories published in the newspapers as true have turned out to be fraudulent. It appears that those who are assigned the task of verifying the authenticity of news stories are not working hard enough. This situation proves that publishers are more interested in selling newspapers than in providing the public with the truth.
The conclusion of this argument is based on the assumption that
A. Every piece of news printed in a newspaper must be verifiable.
B. At least 50 percent of all fact checkers are not doing their jobs properly.
C. Fact checkers are always able to verify every piece of information in an article.
D. When the economy is bad and families are forced to cut back in expenses, fewer people will buy newspapers.
E. It is the responsibility of the publisher of a newspaper to decide what is printed in the paper.
